■■■■Message from the President
Furusato Industries, Ltd. would like to extend our deepest sympathies to all those affected by the
Great East Japan Earthquake and pray for the earliest possible restoration of the affected regions.
In Furusato Group, none of our employees has been
missed or injured. The damages to our sales offices in
the affected region were relatively small. Now, we place
utmost priority on supporting our customers affected and
the restoration of affected region by the earthquake.
The Japanese economy showed a moderate recovery
in fiscal 2010 after it had plunged following Lehman's fall
in 2008. However, the Great East Japan Earthquake
drastically heightened the uncertainty over the future
economic conditions. It is thus difficult to predict pros-
pective trends in the Furusato Group’s operating envi-
ronment, reflecting sluggish economic activities mainly in
the affected region by the earthquake, volume and timing
of construction of temporary housing and the restoration
of building and facilities, shrinking consumer spending and
short of electric power supplies.
Even under unclear circumstances, Furusato Industries
is manufacturing turnbuckle braces for temporary housing
in the affected region at full capacity. After that, we will
prioritize providing supplies for new housing construction
and building renovation. In addition, G-net and Gifu Shoji
support to replace facilities and machines of the affected
manufacturers and suggest energy-saving machines and
equipments. We all will work hard for the reconstruction
of the affected region as Furusato Group.
Moreover, we continue to foster the Piping Products
Business, expand the business through the synergy gen-
erated by a combination of G-net and Gifu Shoji and
create added value leveraging engineering functions.
Besides that, we strive to prepare for the changes to come
in the near future.
Furusato Group makes every effort to satisfy the needs
of the society and our shareholders by conducting what
we are supposed to do even under unclear circums-
tances.
We look forward to your continued understanding and
support in the years ahead.
Ryohei Furusato
President and Representative Director

Consolidated Results
Increase sales and profits, led by a pickup in business
environment
During the year ended March 31, 2011, under this
business environment, Furusato group strived to intensively
market competitive overseas supplies and private label
brand supplies, promote energy-saving proposals, hold
original exhibitions and fairs like the Osaka Machines and
Tools Fair, and develop new business fields and our
customer base.
Consequently, net sales in fiscal 2010 increased by
19.9% to ¥64,454 million compared with the previous fiscal
year. Along with increased sales, gross profit increased
by 17.9% year over year to ¥9,046 million while gross profit
margin dropped by 0.3% due to a significant increase in
sales of the Machine and Facility Business with low
profitability. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased by 2.1% year over year to ¥8,278 million. That
was due primarily to recording no equal amortization of
goodwill from this fiscal year, resulting from one-time
amortization of goodwill of Gifu Shoji in the previous fiscal
year despite sales increase and increased allowance for
doubtful accounts affected by the earthquake disaster.
Operating income was ¥767 million (in fiscal 2009,
operating loss ¥ 780 million). Ordinary income totaled
¥1,074 million (in fiscal 2009, ordinary loss ¥ 520 million).
Extraordinary income including insurance premiums
refunded cancellation and gain on transfer of insurance
agency business of our subsidiary was ¥116 million.
Extraordinary loss including loss on sale of investment
securities and loss on disaster was ¥128 million.
Accordingly, net income was ¥569 million (in fiscal 2009,
net loss ¥ 1,407 million).

[Industrial Equipment]
[Machine and Tools for Automotive]
The Equipment and Tools Business is impacted by the
factory operating ratio of the manufacturing industry, our
end-users of this business.
According to the Indices of Industrial Production, the
production of general machinery, showing the factory
operating ratio of most of the end users, steadily recovered.
Meanwhile, the inventory ratio of general machinery
remained nearly flat after a significant drop in fiscal 2009.
Amid this improving demand environment, we focused on
our core product fields and proactively developed private
label brand products. Besides that, we conducted
energy-saving diagnosis at end-users’ factories and
proposed high-efficiency facilities and equipments to solve
problems identified by the diagnosis. Consequently, net
sales increased by 25.2% year over year to ¥26,051 million.
The Machine and Tools for Automotive Business reflects
mainly a status of the production and inventory of
automotive parts manufacturers.
The production of motor vehicle parts was on the
downward trend in fiscal 2010 following a rapid recovery in
fiscal 2009. Meanwhile, the inventory ratio gradually rose
in line with the trend of production.
Despite a slowdown in the recovery of the demand, net
sales significantly increased by 45.5% year over year to
¥3,995 million, due partly to a rebound from a substantial
drop in sales after Lehman fall.
[Housing Equipment]
The Housing Equipment Business is affected by the
number of new construction starts, extension and
remodeling of houses.
The new housing starts shows demand for newly-built
housing. According to this statistics, the new housing
starts in 2010 (calendar base) stayed at the bottom,
approximately 810,000 units. The severe situation has
continued since 2009, recording below 800,000 units for
the first time in 45 years.
Under the sluggish demand for new construction and
remodeling of housing, we focused on increasing sales
volume of environment-friendly facilities and equipments
like heat pump. Consequently, net sales decreased by
1.2% to ¥3,759 million.

Increase in sales and profits, led by improved domestic
orders received for machine tools
The domestic orders received for machine tools, closely
related to the Machine and Facility Business, increased by
87.1% compared with the previous fiscal year with quarterly
year-over-year growth.
In the Machine and Facility Business, net sales increased
by 40.3% year over year to ¥10,054 million. According to
the sales breakdown, the Machine Tool Business, selling
machine tools at wholesale, was up 40.4% year over year
to ¥7,359 million, and the Factory Automation Business,
directly selling machines and facility equipments to users,
increased by 40.2% year over year to ¥2,695 million.
Consequently, operating income was ¥56 million (in fiscal
2009, operating loss ¥205 million).
[Machine Tool・Factory Automation Business]
The Machine Tool Business and the Factory Automation
Business are affected by the trend in capital investment.
According to the statistics of orders received for machine
tools, domestic demand showed a gradual recovery in
fiscal 2010. Especially, demand in the fourth quarter was
up approximately 80% year over year, but still has reached
approximately a half of the level attained prior to the
Lehman fall.
Under the gradual recovery of demand, in the Machine
Tool Business, we held our original exhibitions and fairs like
the Osaka Machines and Tools Fair and made proposals to
and took orders from users.
Accordingly, net sales of the Machine Tool Business
increased by 40.4% to ¥7,359 million with increased orders,
reflecting a steady growth in our orders received but low
remaining capacity of manufacturers.
Meanwhile, in the Factory Automation Business, net
sales increased by 40.2% to ¥2,695 million.

[Steel Frame Building Supplies Business]
The Steel Frame Building Supplies Business is greatly
impacted by demand for steel frame buildings.
The volume of steel frame used for building increased
by 2.3% to 4.2 million ton, the second straight year of the
lowest level since 1967. The demand dropped by over
30% compared with the demand level falling between 6
million ton and less than 7.5 million ton since 2001.
Meanwhile, the steel product prices, which affects our
selling prices, increased by approximately 15% from the
fiscal 2009 when it had dropped by nearly 40% year over
year.
Under this sluggish demand environment, we provided
supplies for seismic strengthening works, conducted
marketing campaigns and held original exhibitions and
fairs like “the Warehouse Market.” Meanwhile, we tried
to pass on increase in the cost of steel products to our
selling prices, but we could not complete it due to fierce
competition caused by the sluggish demand.
Consequently, net sales were up 5.0% to ¥15,951 million.
[Piping Products Business]
The Plumbing Business was affected by demand for
building, repair and maintenance of the plumbing
facilities.
The floor area of new construction starts of factories,
showing construction demand for factories, had remained
at a low level, but showed a gradual recovery from the
third quarter.
Although net sales had significantly declined due to
constraint of capital investment after Lehman’s fall
regardless of our new business, net sales in fiscal 2010
increased by 9.4% to ¥3,774 million by intensively
expanding customer base and marketing new supplies
using original sales leaflets.

■■■■Corporate Governance
Basic stance on corporate governance framework
To achieve “sustainable corporate group”, Furusato re-
gards the corporate governance as one of the critical issues
and strives to enhance the corporate governance system.
The principal measures are the following three items: ①Reforming management structure and systems
We will discuss to reform the management structure and
systems in order to make quick decisions and streamline
business operations. ②Improving transparency of corporate activities
In order to fulfill the accountability to shareholders and
investors, we will enhance the disclosure system to dis-
close information in a timely and accurate manner with high quality. ③Establishing the compliance system
In order to reinforce the compliance, we will set up our
principles and deliberate the systems and mechanism to
manage the compliance system. Status of implementation of corporate governance
framework ①Overview of corporate governance framework
Furusato is a company with the Corporate Auditors.
The Board of Corporate Auditors consists of three
members, two Outside Corporate Auditors and one
Full-time Corporate Auditor. The Corporate Auditors at-
tend meetings of the Board of Directors, through which they
audit the legality and appropriateness of the performance of
the Directors’ duties, business operations and financial
conditions of the Company. The Corporate Auditors reg-
ularly exchange opinions with the Representative Director
and review and monitor management documents and other
important reports.
The Board of Directors decides the important manage-
ment matters. The Directors, in principal, meet monthly,
with extraordinary meetings as necessary. The Board
consists of four Directors in order to make appropriate and
quick decisions based on sufficient discussion, which de-
cides items defined by laws and regulations and important
issues concerning the management. In addition, it deli-
berates the status of achievement of management goals
and considers appropriate measures to respond to the
ongoing and potential problems.
②Reasons for adopting corporate governance framework
Furusato appointed two Outside Corporate Auditors as
independent auditors to supervise the business execution
functions separately from the Board of Directors. They
attend the meetings of the Board of the Directors and other
important business meetings in order to enhance the effec-
tiveness of management oversight. We maintain our cur-
rent corporate governance framework that can monitor the
status of execution of duties of each Director by the Outside
Corporate Auditors in an independent and fair manner.
The Outside Corporate Auditors have no personal, capi-
tal, business relationships with and no particular vested
interest in the Company. ③Status of implementation of internal control framework 《Basic stance on internal control framework》
Furusato makes efforts to ensure the legality and effi-
ciency of any business operations and control risks. In
addition, we believe it is essential to review, improve and
fulfill the internal control framework as socioeconomic cir-
cumstances and other business environment change. 《Status of implementation of internal control framework》
a) In accordance with the basic policy to set up the internal
control system resolved at the meeting of the Board of
Directors in May 2006, Furusato is working on estab-
lishing the framework. b) As one of the systems to ensure the Directors and em-
ployees perform their duties in accordance with the laws
and the Articles of Incorporation, we compiled and dis-
tributed a handbook including Corporate Philosophy,
Code of Conduct, Corporate Action Guideline, Corporate
Ethics and Whistleblower System to all officers and em-
ployees of Furusato and its group companies. It con-
tributes to educate individual members and to raise
awareness of the internal control.
c) With regard to the information relating to the perfor-
mance of duties by the Directors and employees, we run
a system to appropriately store and manage the minutes
of important meetings, approval documents and con-
tracts by the relevant divisions according to a type of the
information.
d) With regard to the management of risks that could result
in losses, we are working on identifying any risks inhe-
rent in the Company and creating the system to take
appropriate measures on the significant risks.
e) To ensure that the Directors perform their duties, the
Board of Directors holds a regular meeting once a month.
Corporate Governance Framework
24
■■■■Corporate Governance
In the meeting, the Directors discuss the issues stipulated
by the Board of Directors Rule and the issues applicable
to its deliberation standard and make decisions on the
important matters.
f) The Corporate Auditors and the Internal Auditing Division
ensure the effectiveness of and improve the efficiency of
the audits by exchanging opinions when they review the
auditing reports. In addition, the Corporate Auditor en-
sures a system for efficient and effective audits by pe-
riodical dialogue with the Accounting Auditors. ④Status of implementation of risk management framework
Furusato regards the reinforcement of the compliance as
one of the critical issues. We compiled and distributed the
in-house Compliance Manual to all board members and
employees of Furusato and its group companies. We
raise awareness of the compliance among them through
in-house trainings, etc. In order to enhance the risk
management framework, we regularly hold the Risk Man-
agement Committee, chaired by the Director and General
Manager of the Headquarters of the Administrative Division.
The Committee evaluates and analyzes the risks which
could affect operations of the Furusato Group and formu-
lates appropriate measures to respond to them.
Status of internal audits and audits by Corporate Au-
ditors ①Internal Auditing Division The Internal Auditing Division with two Internal Corporate
Auditors consistently implements on-site audits in order to
penetrate the internal control systems into Furusato Group
overall, to make operating processes appropriate, to
comply with laws and rules, and to fairly execute opera-
tional procedures. ②Corporate Auditors, Board of Corporate Auditors
Furusato is a company with the Corporate Auditors. The
Board of Corporate Auditors consists of three members,
two Outside Corporate Auditors and one Full-time Corpo-
rate Auditor. The Corporate Auditors attend meetings of
the Board of Directors, through which they audit the legality
and appropriateness of the performance of the Directors’
duties, business operations and financial conditions of the
Company. The Corporate Auditors regularly exchange
opinions with the Representative Director and review and
monitor management documents and other important re-
ports.
All of the three Corporate Auditors have their profound
knowledge in financial and accounting fields, respectively
as follows:
a) Yoshitsugu Takata, the Full-time Corporate Auditor, has
his long experience in the financial institution and exper-
tise mainly in finance.
b) Tomio Kawaguchi, the Outside Corporate Auditor, has
his long expertise and experience as a judge and lawyer.
c) Yoshiharu Senoue, the Outside Corporate Auditor, with
his long experience in the financial institution, was for-
merly the Full-time Corporate Auditor at Astellas Pharma
Inc. 《Communication among Internal Auditing Division, Corpo-
rate Auditors and Accounting Auditors, and Relation be-
tween their audits and internal control section》
The Corporate Auditors ensure that the audits are con-
ducted effectively and efficiently by exchanging opinions
when the auditing plan is compiled at the start of each fiscal
year and when the regular internal audits reports and fol-
low-up audit reports are reviewed, as well as by hearing
internal audit policies, action plans and audit results from
the Internal Auditing Division. Besides, the Corporate
Auditors ensure that the audits are conducted effectively by
hearing audit plans, quarterly review reports and audit re-
ports compiled by the Accounting Auditors, by attending
inventory audits conducted by the Accounting Auditors and
by exchanging opinions whenever necessary.
The Internal Auditing Division collaborates with the Ac-
counting Auditors by sharing the auditing results and other
information through the exchange of opinions and the dis-
cussions in a timely and appropriate manner as well as by
attending the inventory audits conducted by the Accounting
Auditors.
The Internal Control Section receives reports on over-
views of audits from the Internal Auditing Division, the
Corporate Auditors and the Accounting Auditors. In the
event that the Internal Control Section finds items where
improvement is deemed necessary, it establishes the
framework to improve them.
Outside Directors and Outside Corporate Auditors
Furusato appointed two Outside Corporate Auditors.
The Outside Corporate Auditors, Tomio Kawaguchi and
Yoshiharu Senoue, have no personal, capital, business
relationships with and no particular vested interest in the
Company.
Furusato appointed the Outside Corporate Auditors from
25
■■■■Corporate Governance
the outside of the Company, who are independent from the
Board of Directors. We believe that the oversight of ex-
ecution of management activities by the Outside Corporate
Auditors in an independent and fair manner contributes to
enhancing the effectiveness of management oversight.
In regard to the election of the Outside Corporate Audi-
tors, both of them are appointed as an independent board
member. They fully fulfill audit functions by asking ques-
tions and stating their opinions in an independent and fair
manner at the meeting of the Board of Directors.
The Outside Corporate Auditors ensure that the audits
are conducted effectively and efficiently by exchanging
opinions when the auditing plan is compiled at the start of
each fiscal year and when the regular internal and follow-up
audit reports are reviewed, as well as by hearing internal
audit policies, action plans and interim and year-end audit
results from the manager of the Internal Auditing Division at
the meetings of the Board of Corporate Auditors. Ac-
cording to the audit policy defined at the Board of Corporate
Auditors, the Corporate Auditors mainly review important
documents and investigate subsidiaries at the meetings of
the Board of the Directors and others. Before attending at
the meeting of the Board of Directors, the Outside Corpo-
rate Auditors receive explanations on the agenda in ad-
vance from the Full-time Corporate Auditor whenever ne-
cessary.
Furusato does not appoint the Outside Directors. We
appointed two Outside Corporate Auditors out of three
Corporate Auditors, which contributes to strengthening the
oversight of execution of management activities. As for
the corporate governance, we believe that the management
oversight function in an objective and neutral point of view
from outside of the company is vital. Thus, we adopted
the current framework which enables sufficient oversight of
management from the outside of the company through the
audit by the two Outside Corporate Auditors. Remuneration for Directors and Auditors ①Total remuneration for Directors and Corporate Auditors with a breakdown by type

■■■■Corporate Governance
The following risks may influence the Furusato Group’s
operating results, stock price and financial condition.
The information concerning the future presented herein
are forecasts as of May 6, 2011, including but not limited to
the items presented herein.
1. Trends in capital investment
Furusato Group consists of Furusato Industries (Con-
struction and Piping Products Business) and its subsidiar-
ies, G-net Corporation (Equipment and Tools Business,
Machine and Facility Business), Gifu Shoji Co., Ltd.
(Equipment and Tools Business) and Wakaba Lease (Other
Business). Wakaba Lease was dissolved on March 31,
2011 and is in the course of liquidation.
Furusato, closely related to steel frame building industry,
offers procured and in-house steel frame construction sup-
plies excluding steel products to steel fabricators. G-net,
closely associated with machine tools industry, offers a
wide range of machines and industrial tools to machines
and industrial tools dealers. Gifu Shoji Co., Ltd., closely
related to the automotive industry, offers the automotive
manufacturers and their group companies mainly cutting
tools.
As for Furusato, procured construction supplies such as
high strength bolts and in-house construction supplies such
as braces are mainly used for non-dwellings including fac-
tories, warehouses and stores. Therefore, the results of
operations tend to be impacted by the trends in private
capital investment. Accordingly, there is a risk that profit-
ability may deteriorate depending on sluggish demand for
private capital investment due to the fierce competition.
G-net is a primary wholesaler to mainly offer the machine
tools and industrial tools. The Machine and Facility Busi-
ness tends to be volatile, reflecting demand for the capital
investment in the manufacturing sector and the number of
the orders received for the machine tools. Therefore,
there is a risk that the profitability may deteriorate due to
sluggish orders received depending on the trends in the
capital investment in the manufacturing sector.
Gifu Shoji offers primarily cutting tools to the automotive
manufacturers and their group companies. Gifu Shoji is
not impacted significantly by the capital investment trend
like G-net, but affected by the factory operating ratio in the
automotive industry because the machine tools business
accounts for a small portion of its total sales.
The trends in the capital investment could adversely
affect our results of operation and financial condition.
2. Risk arising from bad debts
Furusato is a retailer to offer the procured and in-house
steel frame construction supplies directly to approximately
8,000 steel fabricators nationwide. Therefore, the risk
arising from bad debts is diversified because our business
does not depend on single or a limited number of suppliers.
However, the bad debts may increase, negatively im-
pacted by the operating results of building constructors
under continued severe business environment in the con-
struction industry.
Meanwhile, G-net serves approximately 4,200 machines
and industrial tools dealers nationwide. The trade re-
ceivable per customer is relatively high so that G-net mainly
controls credit lines by each customer. G-net makes every
effort to minimize the risk of the bad debts by diversifying its
sales volume through expansion of the customer base.
The bad debts may increase depending on the operating
results of machines and industrial tools dealers.
The market trend could have an impact on the Furusato
Group’s operating results and financial condition. 3. Risks arising from natural disasters and others
In the event of social turmoil occurred by natural disas-
ters including earthquakes and floods, accidents like fires,
epidemics, terrorism, wars and other factors, the Furusato
Group may suspend its business activities or lose business
opportunities. In addition, significant expenses for the
restoration of the damaged facilities may be incurred.
Therefore, these impacts triggered by the disasters could
affect the Furusato Group’s operating results and financial
condition.
Risk Factors

■■■■Stock Information
Furusato regards our dividend policy as one of the critical
management issues and adopts the following policy:
1. In order to increase the returns of profits to shareholders
over the long term, we strive to reinforce our profit structure.
To realize it, we put our priority on securing retained earn-
ings for active investment in our growing businesses.
2. The target annual dividend payout ratio is approximately
25% of consolidated net income. In case that the annual
dividend per share based on the above dividend payout
ratio is less than ¥10, we aim to continue the stable divi-
dend returns to pay at least ¥10 per share.
Note: Amount is rounded up by¥0.5.
¥0.01 - ¥0.49; ¥0.5
¥0.51 - ¥0.99; ¥1.0 In fiscal 2010, annual dividend is ¥10 per share includ-
ing the interim dividend of ¥5 per share based on the
above basic policy.
The annual dividend for fiscal 2011, ending March 31,
2012 is expected to be ¥10 per share (the forecast an-
nounced on June 16, 2011).
